Two teams. Two national titles. Here are 10 (+1) things I learned and patterns I noticed while working with championship-winning D1 baseball and softball programs — and what set them apart. 🧵👇

Great 🧵 👇🏼

“If you just wait, you’ll see what I built in the silence you left me in. I walked through the hardest moments alone—no calls, no support, just grit. But I didn’t fold. I didn’t just survive—I’m thriving. I’ve paid my debt to you, in full. With every sacrifice, every lonely step,

CAPTAINS: The title of "captain" doesn't make you a good leader or automatically make you a person of influence. Your character, work ethic, servant leadership, and positive attitude will make you a good captain.

Coaches need to develop a leadership philosophy that’s authentic to who they are. We help coaches reflect on their values, clarify their approach, and craft a philosophy that serves as both a compass and a culture-builder for their teams! Rustin Dodd nytimes.com/athletic/64780…

Everyone wants to be a great leader. Not everyone wants to have the hard conversations, take the blame when things go wrong, and hold people accountable when it's uncomfortable.

20 years working with D1 coaches has taught me this: Yes, they want talent. But more than that, they want this kind of player👇👇👇👇👇

Forget "balance." The reality is, greatness demands a certain amount of obsession. Obsession is inevitable for those pursuing excellence. But there's a critical distinction we must understand: Constructive obsession fuels greatness. Destructive obsession leads to burnout.

Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power.

Learning how to learn is the most important skill to acquire.

PLAYERS: Nobody is entitled to playing time. It is earned during your training and practice sessions. Those sessions start now.

Major career cheat code: Be the person who can figure it out. You’ll be handed tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work. Ask key questions. Get it done. If you do that, people will fight over you.

You want to be: - Highly recruited - Power hitter - Steal bags - Leader But you aren't prepared to: - Do boring workouts every week - Quit eating junk everyday - Support your teammates Nobody can help you if you won't help yourself.

An emotional response to a situation is the single greatest barrier to power, a mistake that will cost you a lot more than any temporary satisfaction you might gain by expressing your feelings.
